5 Things from Last Night's Broad City That Have Definitely Happened to You

If you're not watching Broad City, you're missing some serious opportunities to happily reminisce on crappy-but-funny stuff that's happened to you. I'm not talking relatability of the "in the end, what do any of us know about life and love?!?" ilk. I'm talking daily-grind specifics. I'm talking that time you were really excited to enjoy a salad you bought, and then a weird guy at the park touched it. I'm talking that, and so much more, as evidenced in last night's one-long-string-of-been-theres episode:

You've had this exchange, either inside or outside your head.

You've overdone it on calling in sick. "It started as a sore throat, but I'm feeling really feverish now, it's escalating really quickly. A clump of my hair just fell out, actually." Sick calls are the opposite of fiction; details really aren't the key to success. (Here's a guide to being better at the whole shebang, BTW.)

You've spiraled out of control after a package is delivered outside the designated window. I MEAN, we put our lives on hold for these brazenly wide timeframes (12 to 7! 9 to 6!), and you know the damn thing's either gonna come 10 minutes before (which is what happened to Abbi in this ep) or 10 minutes after (which is what happens to me, right before I give the delivery guy a teary monologue about how much trouble I had to go to in order to be home for you guys—for nothing!).

Your brain, when attempting to reference a mogul, goes straight to Bethenny Frankel. She built an empire around nonfattening cocktails, OK? An empire.

You've received edible underwear as a gag gift. You've not even considered using it in the way God and Ricky's intended you to, but you have thought about eating/actually eaten it as a snack. Ilana: "Wear that candy thong I got you from Spencer's." Abbi: "You ate it, like, as soon as you gave it to me."
